(Reuters) - Republican candidate Mitt Romney was 1 percentage point ahead of President Barack Obama in Wednesday's Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll in a presidential race that is effectively a dead heat less than two weeks before the November 6 election.

In a reversal of Tuesday's results, Romney led Obama among likely voters by 47 percent to 46 percent, a statistically insignificant margin, in the four-day online tracking poll.

Nice headline, Reuters.

They’re obviously livid they have to report this from their Obama-biased poll.

Reuters is the MSNBC of the print world.

Yep, nobody could ever beat the messiah Barry Obama legitimately, so the lead has to be “Stolen”

Reuters is the MSNBC of the print world.

LOL! Now that's funny!

[Tulane]

Does anyone know why RC Politics doesn’t use Reuters’ polls in their averages? Is it methodology?

Good to see Obama under 50% regardless...46% this close is not very good for an incumbent.

“Steals” huh. Oh it’s Roooters pissing in their panties.

” Reuters is the MSNBC of the print world.”

[aposiopetic]

Note he “steals” it like the vulture capitalist he is. < / sarc>

[pabianice]

I call them by their true name,

Oh good grief Reuters. Why not “Obama plunging faster than whatever Diane Sawyer can envision”.

[stephenjohnbanker]

No Rear-enders, Obama STEALS.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll “

Ipsos, no Factos

[Cyman]

Wait a minute. Did I not see a post last night that touted Reuters as showing Obama in an electoral rout?

[Cousin Eddie]

Whew. About 15 minutes ago, Michael Medved said Reuters/Ipsos poll just coming out had very good news for Obama. Either he mis-spoke or was given bum information

[edzo4]

I just moved to north Carolina so sick of political ads never thought if say it but I’m actually looking forward to seeing stupid Geico ads again

[Anti-Hillary]

Per Moochelle, You better vote early ‘cause your toilet might be backed up on election day...

The proverbial “toilet” of America has been plugged up with Barry's CRAP for years!

[MrB]

Obama going down faster than Diane Sawyer looking for the next rung on her career ladder?

Nice headline, Reuters...they're all desperate - our local ABC TV channel went so far last night as to break down yesterday's ABC poll, which showed Romney ahead with a 1 point lead, to the actual raw numbers - Romney 47.51 and Obama 47.44 - to show that Romney wasn't really that far ahead, when the numbers weren't rounded, after all - I've never seen anything like it......
